That Guy

Chapter 4

Hina's POV.

"And here are the results of the exam." Our adviser, or Ms. Flores announced. Lahat kami napasinghap maliban nalang sa taong kinaiinisan ko at parang walang pake sa paligid na si Ark. Our adviser will distribute our testpapers from lowest to highest scores.

"Ms. Hermosa." Ms. Flores called me nung mga lima na ang naiwan. Ugh, this is a plain average. It's because Ark always side-tracking my mind from studying, it's all his fault!

"Ark placed FIRST in intire grade again." Ms. Flores proudly said at ibinigay ang test paper ni Ark. Ark just looked at her with his stupid blanky face.

Tinukso pa ng mga boys si Ark.

"Awesome."

"Turuan mo din kami dude!"

"Pfft! Turuan tayo? Di nga yan nag sasalita eh!" Frank said then they all laugh, except me. It's not funny at all!

Oo nga no? Not once have i ever heard his voice.

|Break Time|

"Tapos na talaga ang Exam!" I heard Cristel said. They're chatting in my desk. Pero nakatingin lang ako kay Ark.

"You gotta do make up exams right?" Kira said to Cristel. I don't know what's her reaction right now, but i bet she's pouting really hard. Ark is just playing his Mechanical pen again.

I might never Seen him speak but i often hear him humming..

Ano kaya ang tunog ng boses niya? I know he is a silent type but mag salita ka naman! You think about this once, and you'll be curious about it for life.

I'm curious! And there's nothing i can do about it!

Nakita kong lumapit sa kaniya si Rex.

"Ark." I heard Rex called him. Yeah right! Palagi niyang kasama si Ark so magsasalita rin siya ngayon o mamaya. If i watch them im sure i can hear his voice! Pinakinggan ko sila ng maigi.

"Gusto mo ng bagong leads?" I seen Ark nod.

"I got you a new Eraser." Ark nodded again. Then i see his face like it's shouting 'Satisfaction'

What the heck?! MAGSALITA KA NALANG!

~~~

Desperate time calls desperate measures. I said in my self. Nasa hallway kami ni Ark ngayon, i mean, Si Ark ay nakatayo sa malapit sa may bintana na tinitingnan ang mga Ibon, naka talikod siya sa gawi ko. Ako naman ay nagtatago sa walang taong classroom.

If he doesn't want to talk, then i have to use force this time. I'm going to surprise him from behind and naturally he will let out his voice, right?! I smiled in my plan.

Ayan na.. Palapit na ako sa kaniya.. And NOW!

"*swooshh (wind)*" /   "WA--" I stopped not because of the wind, dahil nakaharang si Ark sa may bintana, naamoy ko siya. My heart beats faster and i slowly turn back and starting running back to our classroom.

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT SMELL?! Napaupo ako sa desk ko at inilagay ang dalawang kamay sa mukha ko. GHAD! I FEEL MY CHEEKS HEATING UP THROUGH MY PALM!

"What are you doing?" Even i can't use my eyes, I knew who's talking to me. It's Kira.

"A-ang bango niya.." I murmured.

|And school's over already.|
